If you read my 1st post they replaced that.

Im thinking about getting LTs and a tune because I hate how the L99 bogs down sometimes when you step on the gas. It takes about 2 seconds to shift gears. It must be due to AFM turning off.
Nope. It's the stupid transmission not knowing what to do.
My suburban does the same thing and it annoys the hell out of me.

Porting the TB will give you better throttle response. I've had it done to an 05 Corvette and my 2010 SS.

My car really woke up at about 14k miles, my best track time was actually with everything stock except for rear trailing arms and that was a 12.8 at Phoenix. I have since added a few mods, but I can't seem to find the traction to get back into the 12's. Of course I am still on the stock tires that probably aren't as soft as they once were and I haven't been back to a track with that low of elevation either.

I’ve got a 2010 2SS, LS3/6M and mines just opposite. It has 20k miles on it and I’ve owned it since 2k and it’s been strong from the beginning. I’ve done absolutely nothing to it except change the oil. I also have a 69 Camaro SS that runs 11.90s, on slicks and open headers and 12.50s on street tires and mufflers. My 2010 feels every bit as fast my 69. And it’s not just me, everyone I’ve had in it, tells me that they can’t believe how much power it has. I have a buddy who has a 2012 2SS, LS3/6M . I’ve driven his and mine feels like it has an extra 50 horsepower over his. I’ve often wondered why this is. I thought that maybe it was the break-in thing, but mine was very strong at 2k miles. And then I thought that maybe GM had somehow de-tuned them in 2011 or 2012. Sometimes I think that maybe it’s the way he babies his, but I’m not sure. If you guys figure it out, let me know.

Possibly, there is the whole "setting the rings early" deal that I hear for people that get new Camaros. Me? I've driven it like a madman since I got it and it has never felt slow. 2012 L99 by the way.
